UPDATE BELOW
Bob Wenzel penned a post at Economic Policy Journal that should not shock any astute observer of government machinations. The murderous machination to which I refer is . . . Obamacare or Pelosicare, however, you like your government sauce. The title of Wenzel's post is "Crashing Life Expectancy in the United States." By citing Gabriel Zucman, Wenzel reminds us immediately what life expectancy was like in the United States before Obamacare.
The instruction then becomes clear. You need to take care of yourself. Start with a powerful multivitamin, Molecular Multi. See other essential vitamins for vigor.
Take vitamin C daily. You'll live longer.

Reminder: In 1980, life expectancy was the same in the US, UK, Germany, and France.— Gabriel Zucman (@gabriel_zucman) September 9, 2019
Now it's 3-4 years lower in the US.
And it is falling.
That's in a country that spends almost twice as much on health care than every other nation. pic.twitter.com/9ppnkvAo2p
Why Life Expectancy Will Crash in the United States
It's coming. It will take some time before it shows up in the stats, but the socialization of medicine is going to have a dramatic impact on medical care---for the worse.
It doesn't matter what the Supremes rule on Obamacare. If they rule against it, it will just slow things down, but socialist thinking surrounds the medical industry, especially among the "big thinkers", the interventionist minded, central planning focused bioethicists.
And the sad news is that it is now only happening at the margins. It will get worse. -RWWhat this means is what this has always meant--stay away from government-run gigs and people. Government lies. They do this by individual and institutionally. Good people have become government administrators and they are taught to lie, cheat, distort, distract, deflect, and otherwise dupe the tax-payer. In fact, one of the reasons that so many inside government have so much contempt for the tax-payer is that the gov't agent looks down on the tax-payer as some uncritical, helpless rube in a rigged tax game.

UPDATE to Wenzel's post on socialized medicine. Some pushback. This just got interesting.
Bob – When you write below that this is a result of the socialization of medicine you leave yourself open to the counterpoint that Europe has socialized medicine and is not experiencing this drop off in life expectancy. In my view, the largest reason for this is due to the American diet and resulting in obesity levels. The US has an obesity problem that far outstrips other first-world nations. The carb-rich and erroneously dangerous USDA food pyramid is the primary culprit. Worse, our medical community resorts to drugs to treat this epidemic (largely in the form of diabetes, high blood pressure, and other cardiovascular drugs).
The ”socialization of medicine”, while a big problem in and of itself and the primary cause in rising healthcare costs, it is difficult to make that argument when other socialized medicine countries are not seeing the same reduction in life expectancy.Read Wenzel's reply here.
